I received my 10" white wall mount last week, but it had a screen defect out of the box - see this thread: In any event, it works fine other than the "flex" I describe in that post above. But my dealer said my RMA replacement is on back order now, so looks like they sold out of the initial batch pretty quickly.

Right, it used to be that you could return any item back to Costco at any time, even many years later.

Yes, my dealer mentioned that the 10” T3s came with some type of adhesive pads (similar to what I was thinking) but there was nothing of the sort in the T4 box.

So I received my T4 yesterday, and as soon as I removed it from the box had my first disappointment. The bottom edge of the screen, where the glass meets the plastic frame has a separation (behind the glass I believe) that creates very noticeable defect. I would imagine on the black version, this might not be visible. It's only aesthetic, but for $1300 my dealer agreed without any hesitation to issue an RMA. So at some point I'll receive a replacement and will send this one back. So then I hooked up the CAT6, mounted the power box and leveled it nicely. The T4 then has a cleat of sorts that hooks at the back and then has magnets to secure it to the box. Then you use an included small hex driver to secure a captive screw from below to lock it in place. The screw is not optional IMO, as without it you can easily remove the screen off the wall (and could even knock it off the cleat). The magnet is not that strong. So the second disappointment is that the T4 (at least the 10" version) is quite "flimsy" along the left and right edges. I little bit of touch screen pressure or other small hand forces can easily wiggle it forward and back. If you go a little too far you can even make it disconnect from its pogo-stick type connector on the back and it loses connection to the network temporarily. Now this is not something one would normally do, but again I wasn't really pulling away from the wall that strongly. The T4 in general seems a bit too plasticky and flexible compared to the iPad Mini I had before. In any case, my dealer says the 8" units he's installed are very sturdy, and I don't doubt it. The 8" unit will have much more of its back surface mounted tightly up against the power box, so much more support. And I can confirm in the central area of the 10" screen, there is very little flex when I touch the screen. But the 10" has several inches on either side where it is cantilevered off the backplate/power box and there is not support between the back of the screen and the wall. I'm now contemplating putting some type of firm rubber or felt behind either side of the screen to act as a cushion to support the edges. Anyone else have a 10" wall mount that can comment on their experience? Maybe there is something I'm missing or something else is wrong with my unit? The back box and power box are very solid and do not move at all. I really do like the T4 experience though, so I'm still happy I got it. The always on capability and large 10" screen is really nice, and the wife likes it too :-). Thanks, Dino

My Sonos speakers have a volume slider in the C4 interface. But I don’t have an ARC.

Mine is arriving tomorrow. My dealer shipped it to me last week.

Are the black WiFi Chime units shipping yet?

My dealer is planning to ship my T4 to me today. I’ll report back once I receive it and have it installed and programmed.

So I have a Sony XBR 900E, just checking that this would be compatible? I use all external source devices (Roku and TiVo), so the overlay would work on both of these? Looks really cool!

Yes, from the days I used to use Xantech emitters, the non-flash type were called high power, while the “blink” style were not.

The ones that don’t flash usually have a stronger IR signal.

Just the 8” white so far, right? JSTRONG is saying 10” wall white could start shipping next week.

I placed my order pretty early, so hoping I get one soon after they start shipping.

Yes, was looking for LED only.

Ok great, that’s progress. Hopefully my white 10” will ship soon.

Two weeks later, anything new on T4 release?

Ok, thanks, I’ll check it out.

Vista Pro looks to be professional install only - true? Volt caters to the DIY crowd, but the quality seems to be better than most in that segment.

I was looking into Volt lighting as well. How is the quality?

T4 screens don’t have Alexa built-in.

cshepard, yours are WiFi right?

Cool, I hope it fixes your issue.

Did anyone try the new 3rd party shade driver? I realize it’s expensive at $250, but if it solves the feedback issue that would be worth it for me. Of course it only works with HomeWorks right now, so I can’t try it. I believe they provide a free trial period.

Maybe a fix on the cloud server side that was affecting third party integration?

How does the new Chime interface compare to something like Nest?
